Introduction
BeInfinity, located on the top floor of a shopping mall in Hankou, Wuhan, is a vibrant social club designed by LUKSTUDIO. Spanning 3500 sqm, this innovative space combines professional sports, fitness training, and recreational activities to cater to diverse individual needs in the era of increased focus on health and wellness.
Design Concept
Inspired by the concept of play and the psychology of color, BeInfinity aims to create a dynamic and visually stimulating environment. Each activity area is designed as a “dopamine block,” with colors carefully chosen to evoke specific moods and emotions. From the energetic red of the gym to the soothing blue of the air rifle and baseball batting area, the design enhances user experience while aiding in wayfinding.
Design Solutions
The design team meticulously planned the layout, ensuring seamless integration of various activities while maintaining visual unity. The addition of a new mezzanine expanded the space, providing breakout areas such as an entrance cafe for visitors.
Color Palette
Drawing inspiration from the Tetris video game, vibrant colors are strategically used to delineate different activity zones and create visual interest. Neutral tones in the atrium and breakout areas contrast with the colorful spaces, fostering a relaxed atmosphere.
Graphic Patterns
Graphic patterns are employed throughout the space to convey a sense of vitality and movement. From the gradient metal ceiling grid to the woodwool panels with pixelated designs, these details add depth and dynamism to the interior.
Details and Integration
Sports elements are seamlessly integrated into the design, from furniture inspired by baseball and strength equipment to graphics extrapolated from sports fields. These details enhance the immersive experience and reflect the playful ethos of BeInfinity.

BeInfinity Social Club by LUKSTUDIO is a testament to the evolving concept of health and wellness, offering a multifaceted platform for physical activities, relaxation, and socialization. Through bold use of color, thoughtful spatial planning, and innovative design solutions, BeInfinity invites visitors to embrace their energetic and creative selves while enjoying the beauty of sportsmanship in a dynamic and inclusive environment.
